Hi everyone,
Now that the female cacutoides is busy leading around her group of fry - they are eating microworms and frozen bbs already - I'm keen to try some other apistos.
I know that certain species like Dicrossus prefer very soft water for spawning. I have a dicrossus female but have not seen males in stores for a while - even with no dominant male in the tank! All look female with red fins.. anyway now i know about the sex changing possiblity i may buy a group of 'females' ...
What i wanted to know is that a friend of mine has a water distiller for drinking. Can you use that to get ultra soft water? Is it harmful - and is R/O water different or better?
Thanks for any help,
